Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the article is to discuss the development of Polish legal regulations on homeless animals. The research demonstrated that the problem of the protection of homeless animals had been marginalized by the Polish legislature for decades. This contributed significantly to the overpopulation of domestic animals and a significant increase in the number of homeless animals. The regulations currently in force fail to solve this problem as they focus more on remedying the effects of homelessness of animals than on preventing this problem.
